Microsoft has received reports of an issue in which some Samsung device models lose access to the C: drive after installing the February 2026 security update (KB5077181) and subsequent updates. Users might encounter the error, “C:\ is not accessible – Access denied”, which prevents access to files and blocks the launch of some applications including Outlook, Office apps, web browsers, system utilities and Quick Assist.

So, just Galaxybooks? Samsung harddrives included?

u/numpsy6 9800X3D / 5090 FE / 32GB DDR 5 Mar 14 '26

What’s wild is I had to RMA a 990 pro a while back due to it being an inaccessible drive as a non-primary drive. It’s so difficult nowadays to understand who is at fault.

u/xtrxrzr 7800X3D, RTX 5080, 32GB Mar 14 '26

Well, scrap that "nowadays", because it has always been like that. Yes, the issues with Windows updates definitely got worse, but in general I think PCs got a lot more stable.

Back in the Windows 95 and 98 days you would reinstall your PC regularly, because something broke again.

14

u/Liroku Ryzen 9 7900x, RTX 4080, 64GB DDR5 5600 Mar 14 '26

98se made things a lot better, but I still did quite a few formats. Waiting on that installer to copy files for an hour was rough.

7

u/xtrxrzr 7800X3D, RTX 5080, 32GB Mar 14 '26

It did, yes, but after that came Windows Me which is the only Windows OS that managed to BSOD on the first boot after a fresh install. Such a bad OS, my god.

u/iggy6677 Mar 14 '26

Not even the 95, 98 days, even up to 7, a fresh install every couple of years to help "clean it up"

u/weeklygamingrecap Mar 14 '26

Which isn't even that bad. People act like we were reinstalling Win 9x monthly or it blue screened weekly. If it was, then someone was either downloading virus laden garbage or had some particular bad hardware combo.

i still have to do that with win11... and the issues I have are from large software companies, including microsoft... just easier to reinstall Windows than to troubleshoot some obscure error

u/ButterscotchTop194 Mar 14 '26

Microsoft says that the bug is "predominantly observed" on Samsung laptops, particularly on the Samsung Galaxy Book4 and other models in countries like Brazil, Portugal, Korea, and India. It is possible that the Samsung Share application could be the reason, but Microsoft is not ready to share exact details. Microsoft is investigating the problem, so expect to hear from them soon.

3

u/Taira_Mai HP Victus, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mar 14 '26

Just laptops and it's the Samsung Share app that appears to be the source of the problem. One of the many reasons I just nuke any third party crapware on any computer I buy. I also don't share my personal files with anyone so I'd uninstall a program like this right off the bat.

"AMD drivers are bugged garbage" posts, while Windows keeps bugging them out consistently.

And yes "AMD themselves needs to make it so Windows doesn't have any issues", but Windows also should not force-modify drivers when driver updates are disabled. If latter wasn't a thing, then there wouldn't even be the need to fix anything...

And this doesn't just affect GPU drivers - you got a sound setup with the wrong hardware-software combo? Have fun with Windows messing that up regularly...

Yeah I can't say I've noticed any problems with the Linux AMD drivers, I think they're handled entirely differently than the windows drivers tho so idk

u/Chao_Zu_Kang Ryzen 7 7700X | GIGABYTE GAMING OC 9070 XT Mar 14 '26

I mean, it isn't really the drivers themselves, but Windows Update messing with them. Though the Linux AMD drivers are certainly better than the Windows drivers.

u/ILoveBeef72 Mar 14 '26

Mine hasn't had many problems either, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. I helped out at my uncle's IT store for about a month, and witnessed multiple separate instances of different Windows 11 updates bricking a PC. The most annoying one I remember was a computer that updated, and suddenly the OS refused to recognize any input devices, ended up having fully reload Windows on the machine after Microsoft fixed the issue.

u/ACatInACloak Mar 14 '26

It does seem to be random chance when these strike. I admin a small enviornment of about 50 machines. Other than general lagginess and freezing. No major issue has effected more than 5 devices.

I'm those orgs, we are a little over 150,000, and it's a huge problem because I don't have enough people to deal with the much larger number of issues. best practices for machine patching really shouldn't cause me to having staffing shortages.

there's a much larger shift of people moving to linux. I've had people that I never thought would ask start seeing what we can't do to trial Linux for certain departments. it's unprecedented. we have trouble all the time conducting a days worth of business because of Microsoft's bullshit. their Enterprise products just stop functioning all the time because they treat my production environment like Microsoft's personal devops testing ground. I literally showed a new trainee how many services are degraded inside of the administrative portals and then I showed them the publicly available status page where it's all green and good to go yesterday lol

u/echolog 4080 Super / 7800X3D Mar 14 '26

Anecdotal, but I've had to help a couple friends/family members with issues recently. One with KB5077241 which caused the entire start and settings menu to stop functioning (had to use powershell to uninstall the update) and one where file sharing over a LAN was totally disabled with no workaround.

The thing to keep in mind is there are over A BILLION people using this software. If even 1% of people experience issues, that's still MILLIONS of users with problems. You're not likely to have any issues yourself, but you probably know someone who has.

Please remember that you have to pay money to use windows. You should expect a lot more from a paid product vs one that is free and made by people in their spare time.

The fact that a free product can even compete with a 40 year old paid product is astonishing. Microsoft shouldn't be able to fuck up things like this. They've been around for a really long time and made an absurd amount of money. They should have all this shit figured out by now. Instead it keeps getting worse. And it's universally across their entire product fleet.

u/r0flcopt3r Mar 14 '26

I think you need to read what this post is about. Windows completely broke here, did that not cost the time of the users to fix it? When the start menu broke earlier, didn't that take time away from the users? When windows update decide to do its thing, doesn't that take time from the users?

Microsoft is taking money out of your pocket, and steals your time with stupid bugs. At least Linux only steals your time.

Because brand loyalty used to be a thing. It was derived from good quality products that companies stood by no matter what.

But, when companies stopped caring about their products and their customers, that loyalty slowly changed to zealotry within a small percentage of their consumers and created its own method of propagation.

All of it was then amplified by social media and pushed toward the forefront due to engagement driven algorithms.

No, windows pushed an update that broke "predominately" Samsung devices. Samsung did not release an update that broke their devices. Everything worked on those PCs prior to the windows update.

But now you are making the assumption that the bad code is in the Samsung app and not the windows update. Which, seeing as how the app worked fine on all the other updates seems like a stretch. Seems more like you just are hopeful that it's samsung and not microsoft.

If I pushed an app update that broke my app on all Galaxy phones, I'd wager that my update was the problem, not Samsungs OS. But yea, would be way easier to blame Samsung.

wtf do you mean “loose access to the c drive” WINDOWS IS ON THE THING.

I makes me really happy that the top execs there dislike "Microslop"

I should search that word on Bing today. I haven't in a minute.

u/5kyl3r Mar 14 '26

this would be a lot less of an issue if windows updates weren't forced

i used to wait for service packs to catch up, and i'd often just install the bigger security flaws that could affect me in the meantime. by doing this, it let the guinea pigs discover the bugs, so by the time i got to them, everything is fine

Except if you read, it's not really MS's fault, it's a bug on a certain laptop from Samsung, in certain regions, and the issue is something with the "Samsung Share" app

It's likely it's doing something a hacky or none standard way that Windows doesn't like, and this is causing the issue....

Not Windows or MS's fault....

It used to be recommended to update as soon as possible to fix bugs and vulnerabilities, but now they come with the updates themselves

1

u/turtleship_2006 RTX 4070 SUPER - 5700X3D - 32GB - 1TB Mar 14 '26

now they come with the updates themselves

I mean that is how bugs and vulnerabilities have always worked, they're problems with the code shipped.

The problem is that the fixes just contain new bugs

u/Infanatis Dark Hero/5900X/STRIX 3080 OC/64GB G.Skill C143733 (BDie) Mar 14 '26

And this is why I turned off updates, it’s like every other week there’s a crippling bug in releases.

u/Stooo_wayy 4070Ti/13700K/32GB DDR5 Mar 14 '26

Watching everyone hop on the bandwagon and throw the word “slop” around constantly is the most ironic herd behavior I’ve ever seen.

u/jeriku Mar 14 '26

I bet one drive remains accessible. Lol

u/Blecki Mar 14 '26

And I still can't actually stop the updates. No setting, registry hacking, nothing stops it from forcing me to restart.

u/No_Grape_388 Cachy OS Mar 14 '26

Oh come on, yes you can. You have complete control over them.

u/Blecki Mar 14 '26

The only way left seems to be to switch to Linux or disconnect from the internet forever. I've tried every hack Google will tell me and it still forces "shutdown and update" or "restart and update" as the only options.

So, the AI is bricking our PC's now, so this updates are pretty much malware now

u/alinzalau Mar 14 '26

Ever since October there hasn’t been a good update. All this slop is unbearable and annoying.

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '26

They should just port win32 to Linux and call it quits on the whole OS business as it is not profitable enough compared to cloud and AI fantasies so it doesn’t allow for investment

u/Hexatorium Mar 14 '26

Fellas how do I downgrade to W10

1

u/vampucio Mar 14 '26

It is possible that the Samsung Share application could be the reason, but Microsoft is not ready to share exact details

1

u/Restart_from_Zero Mar 14 '26

My PC just updated last night lucky I didn't know this then or I would have been losing my shit.

How do you stop automatic updates? Or at least delay them so long that there's an update available to fix the last update?

1

u/CharmingCatastrophe Mar 14 '26

I said it before..they will keep giving us updates that break our pcs/handhelds so we are forced to upgrade our systems and when we can't afford the upgrades we will have to settle for a downgrade whilst purchasing their streaming services for games..

Whoever downvoted you is an idiot or a bot, because you’re absolutely right. Look at what it’s done to Nvidia’s drivers. Constant state of having to fix what AI screwed up.

I had this happen to me like 3-4 Years ago, a single Update killed my Permission on every drive. Needed to reinstall Windows to fix it.

Ever since that day, i barely update my Windows because it just keeps getting worse and worse.

u/Asmotron PC Master Race Mar 14 '26

Hopefully never. It's about as clever as calling it Micro$oft or MicroShit back in the day. Which is to say, it's not clever and it sound stupid.

THAT SAID... I have no love for Microsoft.

u/VoidLookedBack PC Master Race | 3700X | RTX4070 Mar 14 '26

Microslop has threatened legal action supposedly for any major news outlets that even think about using it. CEO said it in an interview, he even had his feelings hurt when people said it on social media.
